Joseph Evans Brown (July 28, 1891 " July 6, 1973) was anAmerican actor and comedian,
remembered for his amiable screen persona, comic
timing, and enormous elastic-mouth smile. He was one of the most
popular American comedians in the 1930s and 1940s, with
successful films like A Midsummer Night's Dream,
Earthworm Tractors and Alibi Ike. In his later career Brown starred in Some Like It Hot as Osgood Fielding III, in which he utters the famous punchline "Well, nobody's perfect".
In late 1928,
Brown began making films, starting the next year with Warner Bros.. He
quickly became a favorite with child audiences,[1]
and shot to stardom after appearing in the first
all-color all-talking musical comedy On with the Show (1929). He starred
in a number of lavish Technicolor Warner Brothers musical
comedies including: Sally (1929), Hold Everything
(1930), Song of the West (1930), and Going Wild (1930). By 1931, Joe E.
Brown had become such a star that his name was billed
above the title in the films in which he appeared.
He
appeared in Fireman, Save My Child (1932), a comedy in which he played a
member of the St. Louis Cardinals; and in
Elmer, the Great (1933) with Patricia Ellis and
Claire Dodd and Alibi Ike (1935) with Olivia de Havilland, in both of
which he portrayed ballplayers with the Chicago
Cubs.
In 1933 he starred in Son of a Sailor with Jean Muir
and Thelma Todd. In 1934, Brown starred in A Very Honorable Guy with
Alice White and Robert Barrat; in The Circus Clown again
with Patricia Ellis and with Dorothy Burgess; and
with Maxine Doyle in Six-Day Bike Rider.
Brown was one of the few vaudeville comedians to
appear in a Shakespeare film; he played Francis Flute in the Max
Reinhardt/William Dieterle film version of Shakespeare's A
Midsummer Night's Dream (1935), and was highly
praised for his performance.[1] He starred in Polo Joe (1936) with Carol
Hughes and Richard "Skeets" Gallagher, and in Sons O' Guns.
In 1933 and 1936, he became one of the top ten
earners in films. He was sufficiently well known internationally by this
point to be depicted in comic strips in the British comic
Film Fun for twenty years from 1933.
He left Warner Brothers to work for producer David
L. Loew, starring in When's Your Birthday? (1937). In 1938, he
starred
in The Gladiator, a loose film-adaptation of Philip
Gordon Wylie's 1930 novel Gladiator, which influenced the creation of
Superman.He gradually switched to making "B"
pictures.
